Get Ready: We just might launch
My friend,
It’s almost here. As I write this, people I trust—people who know both my heart and my work—have been encouraging me to take the plunge back into electoral politics. I don’t take that lightly. I never have. Because this has never been about ambition for its own sake. It’s about responsibility.
I believe—deeply—in the transformative power of schools. Schools are not just buildings. They are anchors in their neighborhoods. They are stabilizers. They are launchpads. When schools are strong, they don’t just educate students; they shape futures, whether that future leads to college, to the trades, or directly into the workforce with dignity and purpose.
My five years of service on Local School Councils—at Disney Magnet Elementary and Nicholas Senn High School—taught me what CPS truly needs most: wraparound services that meet students where they are. And my own life confirms that truth. By the time I in high school at OPRF (Oak Park River Forest) I was in dire need of support. I only made it through to graduation because the right supports were there. I carry that with me every day. I hope to aid—constantly—a CPS where every student has access to the same quality resources, care, and belief that I was fortunate enough to receive, in every zip code and in every neighborhood of this great city. I will work toward coalition in my home district is 2B,
And now, this is our moment.
CPS needs us. It needs advocates who don’t just talk, but who have shown up and delivered. I’ve helped secure funding for programs that create pathways for neighborhood residents to become teachers (Grow Your Own Teachers). I’ve helped push progressive policies—like hiring additional social workers (My passing vote on LSC)—because student success doesn’t begin nor end in the classroom.
So I’m asking you: stand with me.
Please help. We can do this—but only if together. Give what you can. Some will come to volunteer to contact voters for an hour and others help by contributing $250. There are many ways to get involved.
